The biggest challenge when integrating existing machines into Industry 4.0 is that they often do not have an adequate interface. Replacing these machines is neither sustainable nor economically viable. For migrating to Industry 4.0, retrofitting industrial equipment to new technologies may be more effective and less costly than replacing it, especially if open-source concepts are used for prototyping. As part of component-based software development, Würth Elektronik offers open-source hardware and software libraries in different ways which are used for rapid prototyping in retrofitting.
You can make your retrofitted machine state of the art in no time by using open source concepts for both software and hardware, and creating a working prototype faster and more cost-effectively. The question remains, how can you profit from it?
